Highlights
Overview
ENMAX Energy wanted to automate numerous repetitive tasks to improve productivity and deliver a consistent customer experience.
The company decided to leverage robotic process automation (RPA) to reduce repetitive tasks so that its support team could focus on creating better customer connections.
Challenge
Numerous repetitive tasks were hampering productivity and consistent customer experience.
ENMAX Energy, a Calgary, Canada-based electricity, natural gas, and services retailer, wanted a sustainable back-office operating model to improve exception handling, reduce manual efforts, and speed up meter read-to-invoicing. Given its growing customer base and increasing customer care requirements, ENMAX Energy needed a sure-fire way to automate daily activities and ensure faster turnaround.
Solution
TCS’ automation expertise powers ENMAX Energy’s customer support automation vision.
At the very outset, TCS decided to use a lean-enabled automation analysis framework to create an RPA tool unique to ENMAX Energy’s needs. With the blueprint in hand, a business case was outlined to quantify the cost, savings, and return on investment of adopting the said strategy. The software and RPA tools needed for comprehensive back-end automation were evaluated.
The RPA solution was built using UiPath and can read complex files, SAP industry solution for utilities (IS-U and CRM) inbox items, and business process exceptions. It can easily integrate with other applications, such as Genesys, intelligent work distribution, SAP, data quality management, and SnapLogic.
